Based on the motifs of Perfetti Sconosciutti

PERFECT STRANGERS 

One dinner, seven people, and secrets no one is ready to hear. 

Premiere: Slovenian National Theatre Maribor (2019)

This rewritten adaptation of the original script emphasizes the more conflicted, complex, and cruel aspects of each character and their relationships. The original dramaturgical idea uses the contemporary motif of mobile communication as a mechanism that, through a domino effect, mercilessly exposes each character’s inner dilemmas and unresolved tensions. This device propels the characters into uncomfortable and confrontational situations, proving to be an exceptionally strong foundation for theatrical drama. The production takes place in a single theatrical space, with the imperative that all characters must remain present while every secret is revealed.
